Yup, you hit the nail right on the head about youngsters being not so interested in cruisers or retro simply because they're loaded with...no tech!  . So, RE needs a much stronger proposition instead of selling just on nostalgia to push metal. Price is a good start...accessories is next and then offering performance upgrades at affordable prices. One of the fun things of buying a retro is customising and for it to happen, the base price needs to be affordable to make the entry point easy in the first place.
